The election battle intensifies day after day between the Democrats and the Republicans in the United States as election day approaches, and its extraordinary events dominate the attention of international newspapers.
We begin the press round with The Guardian and an editorial by UCLA public policy professor Robert Reich titled “Democrats shift battleground from attacking Republicans to focusing on ‘ pick up the things that hurt me.
The writer begins his article by saying that the Democrats have finally begun to direct their blow in the electoral battle directly to Trump, instead of what they call the “big- road,” which attacks the Republican Party as a whole.
“Trump hates it when people make fun of him,” the writer explains “He can’t stand being made fun of.”
The author of the article criticized some of Trump’s previous positions and statements, saying that the “moral misery” of the candidate Donald Trump seemed to be completely clear. When accused of not paying income taxes, he replied, “That makes me smart,” thus demonstrating to millions of Americans that “it is not a duty of citizenship ‘ in paying taxes in full.”
Trump also bragged, according to the article, about giving money to politicians to do what he wanted. “When they call me, I take them. And you know when I need something from them after two or three years, I call them.”
The writer says that the peaceful transfer of power after any election was supposed to be a fundamental feature of American democracy, but when Trump lost, he started a coup against the United States and encouraged the attack on the US Congress building , killing five people. .
“He sacrificed – and continues to sacrifice – the institutions that support America to achieve its own goals,” the writer said.
Is the “American Dream” dead?
And to the Financial Times and an opinion piece I wrote, Gillian Tate, titled “The American Dream Needs an Update.”
The writer says that in the coming months, a bold initiative will appear at the doorstep of the powerful US Treasury Department. A group of donors (mostly businessmen) are working to remodel three historic buildings to create a museum that supports the “American Dream”. To clarify this, the Milken Institute records interviews with 10,000 people about their experiences with this dream.
In the words of one major contributor, the goal is to provide a “beacon of hope.”
The writer says that there is no doubt that some Democrats will be afraid. Because this project is led by Michael Milken, who created the junk bond market in the 1980s, before he “pleaded guilty to securities fraud.”
However, the author explains that mocking the idea would be a bad response, and besides the need to support the idea, it is necessary to focus on an important question about the American dream itself, and this is the opportunity that this project provides.
The article notes that a Pew Research Center poll released last month found that only 53 percent of Americans still believe the American Dream exists—and that 41 percent say it was there in the past but has now fallen apart.
Recent polls, conducted by other organizations, such as the Nordic Research Center, as the article explains, reflect this “penalty.”
The article says that the demographic bias is just as surprising, as a Pew Center poll shows that the youngest, poorest and most educated voters are the most disappointed of all, “and it’s no wonder that Trump continues to proclaim that he is the American dream. dead,” because the message is strong, says the author.
But there is a crucial question, the author wonders: Is this American dream specific to geography? Or is it a unique goal?
She answers: For Trump, the focus is geography: he believes the dream is dying because hordes of immigrants are “poisoning America’s sacred homeland.” ” But for Democrats, the concept is less about borders or national purity, as Vice President Kamala Harris believes that “all Americans should have access to their achieve the American dream.”
“The Balfour Declaration, the Trump Declaration, and the Rock of Sinwar”
And to Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper and another opinion article written by Abdel Nasser Salama titled “The Balfour Declaration, the Trump Declaration, and the Sinwar Rock.”
The writer says that despite the clarity of the position of former US President Donald Trump, who is “strongly biased towards the Israeli occupation regime,” what he said a few days ago, at one of his election conferences, regarding his opinion on the extension of the electoral system. He surprised the State of Israel, explaining that what he believes The current area of Israel is small – and the writer says: “And here I immediately remembered the unfortunate promise of Britain, called The Balfour Declaration, and the events that followed that are still taking place to this day.”
He says that the Balfour Declaration, issued in 1917, was not achieved overnight, as the declaration of the establishment of the State of Israel was issued in 1948, that is, after 31 year, when extraordinary events interacted, “of slaughter. and displacement, international complexity, and Arab defeat, marred by many exploitative practices, which remain in place to this day.”
Therefore, he says “Trump’s promise must be treated as an important issue that rises to the level of interest, politically, moderately, and popularly. However, none of that happened, and it seems let history repeat itself.”
The writer explains that when we examine the ideas that Trump’s mind can use, regarding how to expand the territory of Israel, “we will find that he cannot leave from three situations: the annexing Gaza and sending its people from Egypt, annexing the West Bank and moving from there. its people to Jordan, and connecting other lands.” From Egypt, or from Jordan, or all of them together, meaning that Egypt and Jordan are both in clear danger,” according to the writer.
The article points out that this can be seen through a “body of evidence”; The first is the “total destruction” of the Gaza Strip and the demand to make it an untenable environment by any means. Second: destroying and burning the homes, farms and property of West Bank citizens, “pressuring Egypt” economically, through the International Monetary Fund and European headquarters , and on the border, through problems with Libya, Sudan and Ethiopia. , according to the opinion of the author of the article.
He believes that Yahya Sinwar, the political and military leader of the Hamas movement, by implementing the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, “whose goal was, first of all, the liberation of Palestine,” had “achieved a lot, intentionally or unintentionally,” such as: “stop the plan to expand the entity, and stop the plan to expand the entity. resident entity after being represented, through the army, as the police of the area and the restraining force that controls its destiny,” according to the writer.
